▶ About Conference
IEEE 14th Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation (APCAP 2026) will be held in Chengdu, China on 3-6 August 2026. APCAP 2026 is jointly organized by University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Chengdu Joint Chapter, Sichuan Institute of Electronics, and technically sponsored by IEEE and IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.
APCAP is an international forum for the exchange of information on the progress and recent advancements in the research and development of innovative antenna technology and radio wave propagation. It offers a rich, high-quality scientific program with keynote and invited speakers from all over the world. It is a platform for not only exchanges of innovative ideas but also opportunities for collaboration among people from academia, industry, and governments. The APCAP was successfully inaugurated in Singapore in 2012 and subsequently held in Chiangmai in 2013, Harbin in 2014, Bali in 2015, Kaohsiung in 2016, Xi’an in 2017, Auckland in 2018, Incheon in 2019, Xiamen (on-line) in 2020, Xiamen (in-person) in 2022, Guangzhou in 2023, Nanjing in 2024 and Christchurch, New Zealand in 2025.
APCAP 2026 will cover a wide range of topics related to antenna technology, propagation, and electromagnetic theory. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions on their latest research findings. Proposals for special sessions are also invited and welcome.
As a tradition, the Student Paper Contest will be organized and the papers submitted are expected to be predominantly the work of the student. Papers co-authored by a student and his advisor are eligible, provided the student is the principal author and the presenter of the paper.
